Jack. I have a similar ring and the original Asahi ring case . Also circa 1969. I inherited them from my mother and in my laypersons opinion they are magnificent. Did you ever learn a correct value ?
Pearl Ring by:
Jack, the receipt is verification enough. How did you find the condition of the pearls under magnification? Being a high dome style set with pearls this would be a prospective buyers major concern. I would be interested in buying this ring Jack if you were thinking about selling it. I had a pearl ring I sold year's ago and still regret selling it. i didn't realize how attached I'd become to this particular pearl ring.
Warm Wishes, Yvonne
Pearl Cluster Ring by: Jack
Very unique. Beautiful in person. All I have is the original receipt - it just says pearl ring and price - 10,000. Yen in 1969. The receipt from the Tokyo store I cited. Will find a glass and look at it - a local jeweler loved it.
Asahi Pearl Cluster Ring by: Yvonne
Good Morning Jack!
Asahi is Japanese for "morning sun" - an appropriate brand name for fine Akoya cultured pearls from JAPAN. The ring is beautiful and unusual Jack, in it being a high dome cluster of fine akoya pearls. This not your everyday ring. The resale value will depend on the condition of the pearls; on the MOHS scale of hardness, pearls do not win first prize. Do you still have the documentation? Jack, have you looked at the pearls under magnification to verify condition?
